The debut composition of a talented young composer who created this exceptional piece at the age of 15 while a student at Independence High School in Iowa. Programmatic in concept, "Perilous Voyage" opens up with short solo statements for both flute and oboe and then builds in intensity using contemporary compositional techniques throughout the piece. Since Cory is a young percussionist, he has featured a large cast of percussion instruments which provide a bold pulse that is both impressive and exciting! Your students(and audiences) will love this unique and dynamic music by this talented young composer! OUTSTANDING!
